| Résumé: | Based on field work with groups of young rightwing extremists in the streets of Berlin, this article contributes to the debates about the European extreme right when aboarding the research subjects plainly embedded within the German society and of the ethnization of the political identities. It is argumented that the politics of extreme right-wing youngsters depend on the senses of place and the sensualities of alterity which intertwine ethnical stereotipifying in the geographies of difference of the multi-ethnic city. Particularly, this policy makes reference to an ethnicized collectivity of “Turks” and “Arabs”. In turn, the daily negotiation of a racist nationalism and of a multi-ethnic landscape by the rightwing extremists echoes the quite wider European debates on immigration and cultural tolerance. This erases the frontiers that ostensibly define the extreme right as a distinct political terrain. The ethnographic view reveals how the ultranationalists live with —instead of solving— the contradictions of a situated policy saturated with prejudices and questions conventional approaches to European racist rationalism, which use abstract political categories.
